The full abstract reads: "In one embodiment an input device is provided. The input device includes a central body. A response and communications system is included in the input device. The response and communication system enables communication between the input device and a computing device. At least one protrusion extending from the central body are included. The central body and the at least one protrusion are configured to capture a user's hand movements. The input device is configured to be held by the user. An input detection program, a computing system, computer program instructions and a method for communicating commands to a computer system from an external input device are provided."

Note that force feedback (aka rumble) is included as the patent states "wherein the means for providing tactile feedback include vibrational energy" and "wherein the tactile feedback is provided through a low latency vibrator."

Sony's answer to the Wii Remote? Could this be the first gaming generation where virtual reality gaming hits mainstream? All exciting stuff, but we'll have to wait to hear and see more from Sony. See the illustration provided for the patent here.
